The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Northampton, MA for 2025

"I have used Affinity Home Care - East Longmeadow, MA several weeks off and on. Often their aides were late. Occasionally they would call and ask if they could go home early. In general, they were not reliable. They sent at least three different people within that contract. Communication with the agency was not good. They provided in-home care, meals, assistance with personal grooming, the bathroom, and going out for walks with her. I would not use that agency again if I had to use an agency."

"We're using Home Helpers of Enfield and we're very happy with them. One woman comes every day in the morning, and two other people handle the night for the whole week. The caregivers are very nice, they watch my mother, and they take care of her very well. They also feed her well."

"It’s been almost a month since my husband of 57 years died and the memory of his passing will always stay with me. The experience of helping a loved one pass on should always be what I experienced. Peaceful, painless, loving and surrounded by those he loved and who loved him. This would not have been possible without the staff from BrightStar. Starting with Heidi - as a most trusted advisor – experienced in coordinating with Hospice providers. The nurses who worked through a ‘plan of care’. Plan of care reads like it’s a routine, but with those who came it felt far from routine. It was a plan for my husband’s dying moments and was so smooth and caring that it was as if I and my family were ‘alone’ with Ron. When he was lucid, he whispered that he ‘liked Latoya and Mio’. From a man who hated company, this was so welcomed. They treated him with respect and dignity, and they supported us as if they were angles on our shoulders. Because of them he was able to die where he lived... and loved and was loved. Thank you all..... "
